One - KANE is a Dutch rock band from The Hague, formed in 1998. The two original members were Dinand Woesthoff (lead singer) and Dennis van Leeuwen (guitarist, vocals). They added drummer Martijn Bosman in 2002 after the former drummer had left the band. Their music can be described as soft guitar rock. Nowadays, they are one of the best selling bands in The Netherlands and, after The Golden Earring, one of the most successful rock bands in Dutch music history.
Although formed back in 1998, it is now KANE take their dynamic blend of accessible rock to new fans across Europe. Over the last 4 years the band have enjoyed sweeping success in their own market selling out prominent stadia (2X AHOY Rotterdam 2002) and supporting huge worldwide acts such as Bon Jovi. As Holland's most popular live-band, KANE have performed at all the major festivals including 'Pinkpop' and 'Parkpop'. They have also performed outside of Holland, such as the Marktrock festival (Belgium), Expo 2000 (Germany), Heineken Jammin' (Italy), SuperBock-SuperRock (Portugal) and Rock Werchter (Belgium.)
KANE was also the supporting act during the most recent Simple Minds Tour, played several duo-shows (Scandinavia and Germany) with their American counterparts The Calling and even delivered a specially requested performance in tropical Curaçao.

Two - KANE was formed in 1998 by Christian Kane & Steve Carlson. Both are accomplished songwriters and guitarists whose passion to create and share their special breed of "outlaw country" soon became a Los Angeles phenomenon. Packing such hot spots as The Viper Room and The Mint, Christian and Steve became well known in the L.A. community for their strong original songwriting and awesome high-energy performances.
KANE has received airplay from #1 LA country music station KZLA, been voted the winner of the 2005 Country Thunder Young Guns Contest, been voted one of L.A.'s 100 Hottest Unsigned Bands by industry magazine Music Connection, and Rock City News and E Media Wire Service describe KANE in one word: "Killer." Despite somewhat limited touring, KANE’s self-released debut CD sold over 4,500 copies in the US, with almost half those copies selling in countries as far away as Malaysia, Germany, Australia and Brazil. Corporate shakeups led to KANE's second album, the Sony Sessions, being shelved.
Not content to stay an L.A. phenomenon, the two began taking regular trips to Nashville to polish their writing chops. Nashville exposed them to the thrill of collaborating with some of the best songwriters in the world. Longtime friend and Bigger Picture partner Michael Powers introduced them to Bob Ezrin, who immediately recognized KANE’s potential. Christian rounded up one of his favorite creative partners in Jimmie Lee Sloas and KANE soon found a new home recording in partnership with Bigger Picture Group.
Produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin and Jimmie Lee Sloas, KANE's new debut album, entitled “The House Rules,” drops this fall (2010) on the Outlaw Saints label, a partnership with Bigger Picture Group. On this album EMI songwriters Christian and Steve collaborate with friends Blair Daly, Brett James, David Lee Murphy, Casey Beathard, Jerrod Niemann and others.

They changed their name to Cortizone and released one album "Selling Out For The Sucker".
Shot Of A Gun
Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would the heartache ever heal?
Is it leavin' you behind?
You must remember this
There's nothing left to miss
If you keep it locked inside
Pretend that it's allright tonight
Walk in the sunlight, yeah
It feels like the shot of a gun
You got knocked down
But you walk away from it
It feels like the shot of a gun
Remember long ago
All the things we didn't know
When you were feeling so alive
It seems like all those days
Gone and vanished in the haze
But I'm still here tonight
Walk in the sunlight tonight
Pretend that it's allright tonight
Walk in the sunlight
It feels like the shot of a gun
You got knocked down
But you'll walk away from it
It feels like the shot of a gun
Hands down
You'll get away with it
It feels like the shot of a gun
You'll walk away from it
You'll walk away from it
It feels like the shot of a gun
You got knocked down
But you'll walk away from it
It feels like the shot of a gun
Hands down
You'll get away with it
It feels like the shot of a gun
You'll walk away from it
It feels like the shot of a gun
In Kane's song, "Shot of a Gun," the lyrics are about heartache and the process of healing. The singer is asking the other person how they feel and if the heartache will ever heal. The line, "Is it leaving you behind?" implies that the other person may be stuck in their pain and struggling to move on. The singer reminds them that there is nothing left to miss if they keep their pain locked inside.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful. The lyrics, "It feels like the shot of a gun, you got knocked down, but you'll walk away from it," suggests that heartbreak can be a traumatic experience, but it's possible to move on and heal. The phrase "shot of a gun" is a vivid metaphor for the pain of heartbreak, and the act of walking away from it is portrayed as empowering.
The song also explores the passage of time and how it can make us nostalgic for the past. The singer reminisces about the days when the other person was "feeling so alive," but acknowledges that those days are gone and "vanished in the haze." Despite this, the singer is still here and encouraging the other person to "walk in the sunlight tonight," even if they have to pretend that everything is alright.
Overall, "Shot of a Gun" is a song about resilience in the face of heartbreak. While acknowledging the pain and difficulty of the experience, the lyrics encourage the listener to keep moving forward and find happiness again.
Line by Line Meaning
Tell me how you feel
Express to me the emotions you're experiencing
Would the heartache ever heal?
Is there a possibility of your emotional pain subsiding?
Is it leavin' you behind?
Are you being left behind by the cause of your emotional pain?
You must remember this
It is imperative that you recall this particular point
There's nothing left to miss
There isn't anything remaining that you should be nostalgic about
If you keep it locked inside
If you maintain inner repression of your emotions
Walk in the sunlight tonight
Step forward in a bright, carefree manner at present
Pretend that it's allright tonight
Conceal your melancholy and convey normalcy
Walk in the sunlight, yeah
Continue to exhibit a carefree, optimistic attitude
It feels like the shot of a gun
Emotionally, it feels like being struck by a bullet
You got knocked down
Metaphorically, an event in your life has knocked you to the ground
But you walk away from it
You remain unaffected by the adverse event, walking away from it
Remember long ago
Recall an earlier time in your past
All the things we didn't know
The wisdom or knowledge we lacked during that period
When you were feeling so alive
During a point in time when you were feeling fully alive and energized
It seems like all those days
It appears as though all those days have vanished, disappeared
Gone and vanished in the haze
They've disappeared without a trace, obscured from our view
But I'm still here tonight
Despite the passage of time and the erosion of memories, I am still present
Hands down
Without a doubt, certainly
You'll get away with it
You will emerge unscathed from the ordeal
You'll walk away from it
You'll be able to shake off the negative experience
It feels like the shot of a gun
Emotionally, it feels like being struck by a bullet
